You'll need allan keys and a torque wrench should be used i.e. They use mineral oil which is better to work with than DOT fluid, and are easy to bleed and set up. Measure the width of the bb shell (bit where downtube and seattube meet), if it's 68mm you will need a 5mm spacer to take it to 73mm, put spacer on the drive side.įor brakes, again Shimano deore will do the job well and cheaply.
2010 GIANT STP 1 WHEELS INSTALL
You will need a bottom bracket tool to install them. For more $ zee cranks look the business and should take a beating. If you want to build and maintain your bikes it will be worth buying all the tools, otherwise find a mate with them, or get your LBS to do the lot for you.Ĭhances are you will need a 73mm bottom bracket (English threaded shell) - Shimano deore cranks + bb will be cheap and pretty strong, but not light. Again you can pick up tools pretty cheap, but to do it properly, you will need tools to both remove and install the crown race. Headsets come with a crown race which gets fitted to your fork steerer. Ebay has cheap stuff to remove and install headsets which does the job. Is the headset still installed? Does it need a new one? Removing old headsets is pretty easy with the right tool, and to install a new headset you will either need to make your own tools or buy one. Is the headtube straight 1.125" or tapered? That will be important working out which headset and forks you need, hence the year of the frame - old models will be straight, newer might be tapered.
When you say "fixed" do you mean single speed or a fixed gear (fixie), i.e. If you don't already have all the tools you'll be looking at least a few hundred just for them.
